gr82be 14,423 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Appreciate all of you @ellitor, @boomstick, @Zeek, @GwillMac6 (and others) who put the time in to follow recruiting like you do so that someone like me can read it and be current. This thing gets crazier and crazier each day that goes by. While I can't blame anyone for taking money like what is being reported the whole announcement thing just gets more and more ridiculous. Just freaking do what you plan to do and stop the theatrics. That said, very happy and thankful for the guys we have committed. We have Bruce and that gives Auburn an solid advantage right there.

JLee had a hoop scoops today saying our staff confidence has taken a massive drop & it doesn't look good. Other insiders that have posted in the thread have basically said the same thing.

It was an inpatient facility during my medical school/residency. It was the primary facility for under-/uninsured although we saw plenty of those at the University Hospital as well.

boomstick 1,315 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 FWIW, Hooks says he's hearing two very different stories right now. From the coaches/staff, the official story is he's going pro. But info coming from players and player connections is Jalen is coming to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the posters who said you can never put any stock in to what the players think. They think we are getting everyone always. The Memphis players thought the same thing.

I think Jefferson County bought it out and maybe restored it some. I honestly thought it had been closed down. Any way my original comment was meant to be taken light heartedly. Just making a pun.

Hate to burst your bubble even more but even if he does pick Auburn tomorrow auburn sources say it’s only about 10% that he would come to Auburn instead of eventually turning pro without playing at Auburn.

Well, at least we'd beat Memphis. 😀 Although, if he goes pro, then maybe the school that he picked got the worse deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomstick 1,315 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Also, someone asked Hooks to check on a rumor that Green asked to commit to us while still working through the G League options and Pearl said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, let me ask this, I don't see the answer elsewhere: let's say JG commits to Auburn (and may go G League when this Covid thing passes), does that commitment impact Kuminga? Would hate to gain the commitment, JG go play G league and lose Kuminga. That would feel like a kick in the 'hacky sack'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Bruce takes his commitment if there's a chance he leaves. Don't think we can afford to take his commitment and then have him leave a month later. And I don't think it impacts Kuminga.

I think that is why Pearl can't afford to take a commitment now from Green, then find out by June he decides to go to the G-League, leaving Pearl without a player. If Pearl feels he can get a really good GT player, If Green goes pro, then Pearl has filled a need on his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,650 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Statistically, football players almost ever pick the cheap looking non-flat bill hat. Not sure the numbers in basketball lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,650 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I believe these are the same hats. If so he picked the cheapest one I doubt he plans on keeping 😤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
